My $50 AFF membership hasn't saved me anything! In fact, it's cost me hundreds and hundreds.
Hundreds of hours of fun and enjoyment for myself and my kids flying premium (F & J), lounge access, executive hotel rooms, the list is endless.
I'm out of annual leave, having done 4 O/S trips this year (actually, I'm in the negative leave).
Seriously though, I've spent $$$$$ that I probably wouldn't have, had I not found AFF, but I've had an absolute hoot of a time. No regrets here.
All the valuable information is available to all without paying anything. My $50 is just a small token of thank you to all who participate and share.
Thank you AFF!
